Now's the time for him to declare that he identifies as black. He should have done that before he let his hair go.

White comedian Zach Poitras was banned from participating in comedy events in Montreal, Canada, after organisers claimed his dreadlock hairstyle was inappropriate.
Poitras was originally supposed to appear at two comedy nights taking place at the Coop Les Récoltes bar, located in Montreal’s famous Quartier Latin area, but was rejected by the organisers, who wrote on Facebook that his dreadlock hairstyle violated their discrimination rules, Montreal newspaper Le Devoir reports.
“We will not tolerate any discrimination or harassment within our spaces,” the organisers wrote, and added that cultural appropriation, in their view, was when “someone from a dominant culture appropriates symbols, clothing or hairstyles that come from historically dominated cultures.”
The bar, which also serves as a co-op run by the Public Interest Research Group (GRIP) of the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), argued that the comedian may not be racist himself but that his hairstyle acts as a “vehicle” for racism.

Apparently Montreal Canada as well.
Liberal intolerance has now affected identity politics.
You can’t do that if you’re white. That’s white privilege, stupid.
I need an etiquette guide to cultural appropriation. White people are not supposed to do dreads, cornrows, can we still rock the JewFro? And black people can still straighten their hair and even dye it blonde?
It always seems to come back to some groups being socially “higher” than others. Some can live how they wish, while others are shunned if they try. Does it really matter which groups are on top, which groups are shamed for existing? I say no.
What ever happened to fairness? Content of character?
Right and if black women straighten their hair, and most do, that's okay. Another liberal rule that only applies to white people. They are the true racists.
Man that’s news to the Vikings.
Blacks need to stop rapping bc that’s a theft of spoken word poetry.
And stomp dancing as that is Irish.
And using antibiotics, electricity, the internal combustion engine, airplanes, and everything past the Bronze Age.
Yo hair be racist!..................
Bronze? That’s racist!...............
Black women straightening their hair(White Hair).
Phones, computers, automobiles, planes, air conditioning, central heat, electricity, Western medicine, government for the people, firearms, etc...
I guess he can’t eat watermelon or fried chicken either...............

They've thrown martin Luther king's dream in the trash. google color blind, and you'll see scores of libtards saying colorblindness is racism.
Why? because the modern liberal is the white supremacist turned inside out. They are essentially minority supremacists of a sort.
They believe minorities should get points for being "victims" and whites should get demerits for being "oppressors".
Ban the meme of the white hipster woman with her dreadlocks.

Of course it is. Didn’t you read? It is defined as “someone from a dominant culture appropriates symbols, clothing or hairstyles that come from historically dominated cultures.”
So someone from a shithole using flush toilets or computers is perfectly ok. Your making a taco—verboten.
The funny part: Dreadlocks are from Greece in the era of Sparta. They later became popular among Christian ascetics of the Middle East and Southern Europe. They became popular among hippies because they didn’t look (supposedly) didn’t look sickly when the hippies went unbathed. From there, they entered the pot culture. They only became part of black culture through the pot culture, since the Rastafarians liked pot.
That’s what I thought.
:: his dreadlock hairstyle was inappropriate. ::
Appropriation is inappropriate. How appropriate.
Now's the time for him to declare that he identifies as black. He should have done that before he let his hair go.
The blacks wearing white hairstyles were not left out.
They are gonna have to stop playing basketball. That ones gonna hurt. Oh, and stop using guns too. Help everyone live a lot longer and safer as a side benefit.
Identity politics is the wellspring from which their intolerance springs. They dream of a world where people are judged by the color of their skin,
I guess it is okay now if I snatch the wig off of every black witches head. You know that they not only are wearing white style hair, it has to come from any race but negro. Black people flat out do not have straight, blonde, or brown hair. So I should be safe.
